Martial Arts SA Leadership Academy
0 Welcome to Martial Arts SA - Adelaide's only Moo Duk Kwan Studio & the famous MASA Kidz Club. At Martial Arts South Australia we seperate our students into proven, intellectually based, age specific training programs to ensure they are working on age appropriate material at the right stage to develop motivation and in a manner that students understand and connect with best.

Whether a 3.5 year old or a 63 year old, we have a positive learning environment that will guide any new student to becoming a self motivated, disciplined and confident member of the community. We are a family based Studio teaching traditional, non-competitive martial arts for personal development!
Services
After many years following the "normal" way of training children, we began reviewing the process with the goal of developing a better way! We had to break the "mold" and start again!

As the Founders, my wife Tammy and I (Ray Sargeant), established what we wanted our young students to achieve and conducted research into child development, which provided us with a deeper foundation of knowledge, which we then applied to the process of rebuilding our children's curriculums from "scratch".
For just $25.00 you will have the opportunity to participate in a private introduction with MASA's Head Instructor Ray Sargeant, where you will learn about the best martial arts program to suit your child or children. You will all participate in a private tour to assist in getting to know both the Studio layout as well as see first hand how we interact and create a positive connection between 'students and instructor'.
We have completed several internal and external changes over the past 21 years in our South Road location! The Studio has a large waiting room at the front of the building and seperate from the two training rooms, provides students and parents with the perfect relaxing coffee spot. Large flat screens are in full view and linked to both training rooms for real time viewing of the training room action!
We'll help you and your children realise their potential, to become the best they can in what ever their goals may be, including becoming a future Martial Arts instructor at MASA. MASA provides a dedicated "Mentoring" Instructor Development Program, which continues to build our instructor team as a strong and dedicated on self improvement as well as student development.
Our programs are uniquely designed into age-specific groups to ensure that members are challenged and educated to their level of understanding and abilities. All new members are walked carefully through our unique introduction and assessment process, where their strengths and weaknesses are identified to ensure their path to success begins correctly.

MASA offers fantastic training for the whole family. Very grateful! We've learnt martilarts skills, flexibility and fitness.
Kids have learnt invaluable respect and discipline. The little homework exercises based on martilart virtues are a real self development which is rare to find these days. The social aspect of the club with paint ball days, dinners and Christmas celebrations is so holistic. Ray and Tammy Sargeant and the whole leadership team make MASA a friendly and inviting place to train.

Our son has been attending MASA for a couple of yrs now & he thoroughly enjoys it.  Both Ray & Tammy has developed an age appropriate training program which teaches kids to focus, learn, respect, discipline & encourages kids to stay positive in their environment + have fun too.  Friendly & supportive staff 😊.

MASA has been a fantastic club for my son to be a part of for almost 7 years. In that time he has learned far more skills that the physical abilities associated with martial arts. Jack has developed self-confidence and gained valuable insights into courage, accountability, leadership, commitment, focus, respect, endurance, patience and honesty. Tammy and Ray through their programs are extremely committed and enthusiastic in supporting each student reaching their full potential. And, best of all, it is practiced in a positive and fun environment where lots of friendships have been made.
Thank you

My kids have been attending MASA for a number of years now. Both incredibly enjoy the experience and look forward to each class. A family owned business, Ray and Tam invest a lot of time in MASA and it shows. Keep up the great work!

This is a great place to learn Martial Arts. Great instructors. My daughter started learning when she was 3.5 yrs old. Now she is 6 yrs and she developed her skills very well. My daughter is confident and well disciplined, also she knows how to look after herself. I am really delighted and happy to know that she is independendent and safe. I strongly recommend MASA.
I WISH THE VERY BEST TO MASA AND THE INSTRUCTORS FOR THE EXCELLENT TRAINING PROVIDED TO THE STUDENTS

My 2 older boy's love MASA. The older has been there for 4 years and younger 1.5 years with our youngest keen to start as soon as he can! They make training fun. Both get different thing's from MASA but found It's great for confidence, discipline and leadership. There's always something happening to include everyone to give a great family/community feel.

MASA Kidz Club is an outstanding martial arts business where training programs are designed to promote physical and mental well-being for children, teaching them how to assess what is occurring in their environment, and to effectively defend themselves if required.
Ray and Tammy Sargeant have worked hard over many years to develop innovative programs for children with a specific focus on their safety and well-being, which are designed to assist in building confidence, resilience, respect of others, achieve goals, make new friends and have fun – all in a supportive environment!

MASA Kidz Club is Awesome. My daughter enjoys the leadership development and looks forward to class every week and we have been going for close to 6 years. She has learnt practical self defence skills which gives me peace of mind that she can protect herself. Thank you MASA!

We have been coming to MASA for 4 years and we have been so happy with the program. Ray and Tammy are fantastic with the kids and it is the perfect balance between positive reinforcements and discipline. Every term when we attend the promotions we are blown away by how much the kids have grown and developed. Lessons that spread throughout the week at home. I cannot rate them more highly. It is a fantastic program
